Cityscape SW 7067

Cityscape LRV and undertone

Sherwin-Williams Cityscape (SW 7067) has an LRV of 22, a dark depth, and a gray color family. Its calculated Lab undertone is neutral. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a paint reflects, with lower numbers indicating less reflection. At LRV 22, Cityscape reflects less light than mid-tone or pale paints. Its dark classification helps explain why it can appear deeper on a wall than a gray with a higher LRV. The neutral undertone is the calculated color direction, rather than a specific warm or cool bias.

Lighting and surrounding colors can still affect the appearance of neutral gray. North-facing rooms generally receive cooler daylight, while south-facing rooms tend to receive warmer light. Test a sample against the floor, cabinetry, and trim to check the relationship before painting. Pale trim creates a stronger contrast with a dark wall, whereas darker trim reduces the difference between surfaces.

Cityscape in other brands

Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray (HC-168) is the nearest listed alternative, with an LRV of 23.33 and a ΔE of 3.3. Benjamin Moore Amherst Gray (HC-167) has an LRV of 18.8 and a ΔE of 4.6. Valspar Warm Eucalyptus (8004-28F) has an LRV of 21 and a ΔE of 6.1. These measurements provide a practical starting point for comparing gray and related colors across brands.

ΔE describes the measured difference between two colors. Under 1 means near-identical, 1 to 2 means very close, 2 to 4 means close but visibly different side by side, and over 4 means only similar. Chelsea Gray is therefore close but visibly different beside Cityscape. Amherst Gray and Warm Eucalyptus are similar rather than close matches. Because brand formulas and surface conditions differ, compare actual paint samples instead of relying on names alone.

Lighter and darker Sherwin-Williams alternatives

Sherwin-Williams Retreat (SW 6207) has an LRV of 21, making it darker by LRV, with a ΔE of 4.5. Sherwin-Williams Gauntlet Gray (SW 7019) has an LRV of 17 and a ΔE of 6.3, offering a further reduction in light reflectance. Both can be considered when a darker wall color is needed, although their measured color differences are notable.

Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog (SW 9130) has an LRV of 30, making it lighter, with a ΔE of 8.9. Sherwin-Williams Acacia Haze (SW 9132) is also lighter at LRV 32, with a ΔE of 9.8. These two are similar alternatives, not close color matches by ΔE. Consider them when more reflected light is desired, then check samples under the room’s natural and artificial lighting.
